have you ever had a great idea like the cat here then started to develop it but keeping with the cat idea to make it better like a ninjacat then for no reason you realize your thinking about something completely off topic like which movies you need to watch once the weekend hits, you have no idea how or why this has happened, but for the life of you, you can no longer remember what that great idea you originally had was and in the furry of trying to remember you start thinking of something else so you need to now rethink what it was you were attempting to do...

That's sort of how my mind works. Unfortunately, my brain takes off on a path perpendicular to a tangent, and when I decide to rejoin the conversation, everyone else is talking about high school, and I suddenly ask someone if a giraffe would beat a doberman in a fight.
And then I say "I'd explain my thought process to you, but it would take about ten minutes, and then I'd be even more lost."
And then I lose more friends.
